KnoWho

KnoWho is a director-run recruitment agency founded on the principle of placing the right people in the right places across creative, digital, tech and events sectors. The senior team operates on a commission-free basis, prioritising quality placements and a pleasant recruitment experience over volume-driven metrics. They distinguish themselves through genuine industry expertise, having worked within the sectors they recruit for, and a commitment to treating candidates and clients like normal people rather than transaction numbers. Their process emphasises transparency, responsiveness and personal touch, with no missed calls without voicemails and communication via chat, text or WhatsApp when appropriate.

In creative roles, they understand the agency model and help businesses build in-house creative teams, placing talent in design, creative studios, advertising, eCommerce, integrated marketing, B2B marketing, content marketing, PR and social media content creation.
